I dont believe that they do a great job of promoting the names that will be sold at the auction as this is all 11th hour imo

There seems to be some lingering issues with domain auctions and transparancy with bidding that I also imagine has an effect, not to mention that there is now a premier “live auction” every 14 days with everyone following what appears to be easy money…

In particular WebCon, which is more of an end user conference. Let's face it, end users are showing up to domain auctions. They buy plenty of domains in the aftermarket, but on a one off basis.

I think this is for a few reasons, but I am curious as to why they wait until the the 11th hour to formalize their name lists and publish the live auction names. It seems they could publish this 1 month in advance and do a better job of trying to promote the live auction names to bring in a larger audience The last 2 moniker auctions seem to have been a bust.
